摘要

NRL WARLOC雷达是一种高平均功率、相干w波段(94 GHz)雷达，目前在马里兰州的NRL切萨皮克湾支队(CBD)基地运行。WARLOC由海军开发，作为成像和跟踪应用的研究雷达，也为云参数(包括相位、形态、颗粒大小和运动)的测量带来了前所未有的灵敏度，其空间分辨率是当代雷达系统所无法比拟的。美国国家航空航天局的云卫星，计划在2005年初发射，具有一个指向最低点的非相干w波段云剖面雷达(CPR)。作为“a - train”星座(一系列五颗低地球轨道卫星与EOS Aqua平台进行编队飞行)的一部分，CloudSat提供了第一个全球尺度的天基云垂直剖面信息。本文讨论了在大气物理研究中使用WARLOC的机会，以及量化CloudSat CPR的仪器性能和科学局限性的潜力。

Opportunities for NRL WARLOC radar validation and calibration of NASA Earth Observing Space Missions

The NRL WARLOC radar is a high average power, coherent W-band (94 GHz) radar now operating at the NRL Chesapeake Bay Detachment (CBD) site in Maryland. Developed by the Navy as a research radar for imaging and tracking applications, WARLOC also brings unprecedented sensitivity to the measurement of cloud parameters (including phase, morphology, and particle size and motion) at spatial resolutions unparalleled by contemporary radar systems. The NASA CloudSat satellite, planned for launch in early 2005, features a nadir pointing non-coherent W-band cloud profiling radar (CPR). As part of the "A-Train" constellation (a series of five low-earth-orbiting satellites in formation flight with the EOS Aqua platform), CloudSat provides the first space-based cloud vertical profile information on a global scale. This paper discusses opportunities for the use of WARLOC for atmospheric physics studies in general, and potential for quantifying the instrument performance and science limitations of the CloudSat CPR.
